And the Kicker is...

After doing all this, they promulgate the lie that Republicans want to take your Social Security. The worst part is that it is believed, not you but the uninformed. When a lie is told often enough it is believed.

My understanding of the situation with the Social Security Trust Fund
is as follows:

In the LBJ Administration (yes, Maria is correct, it started then)
the practice was begun of taking money from the fund for various
purposes, and replacing this money with a new kind of government
bond. The government was not required to pay interest on this kind
of bond.

These bonds have been described as worthless I.O.U.s. I believe this
is totally mistaken, that if they are not redeemed when needed, the
government will be in default, true of any of its bonds.

However, since these bonds in the Trust Fund are a heavy obligation,
they should be treated as part of the National debt, which they are
not - thoroughly dishonest accounting by the Government.

The only people here who bring up Clinton's cock are Clinton
defenders.

That's because Bush defenders realized what an idiotic argument it
was and finally stopped using it to avoid embarrasing themselves.
It's fun to remind them of it, though, and watch them try to
disassociate themselves from the whole idea.
